I'd like to make a thread, but i don't know something
« on: March 21, 2009, 09:55:10 PM »
I wanted to make a thread in the wishlist about Arctic Convoys, unfortunately, i don't know how thick the armor of an average merchant ship was, how fast it could go, what its armament was, i haven't got the slightest clue; could anyone find me a website where all this information is, or give me some information that you might know.

I'd really appreciate that, thank you.

Ship groups are limited. Ask the map makers. It really messes things up if there are too many CV groups. Adding more "convoys" would do the same I think.

AH needs liberty ships, poorly armed if armed at all, max speed 11 to 12 knots.
Shepherded by 4 - 6 old destroyers.

Ideally a low smoke produceing, low polygon count model that we could have 30 in a convoy without destroying frame rates.

Also more tankers, barge traffic,  etc on the coastal waterways.

Add in some E boats and subs and you'd be getting places.
